When players fall down, they usually turn to one side because that is where the audience and cheerleaders are. They look for support, encouragement, motivation which is immediately provided. The athletic supporters, as what some cheerleaders want to call themselves, are also in the middle of their own game. They work out and practice hard to provide the team spirit needed both by the audience and their team.
The first ever cheerleader was a male named Johnny Campbell. Back in 1898 in the University of Minnesota, Campbell led the crowd to shout a unique and encouraging chant. November 2, 1898 was then recognized as the birth date of organized cheerleading. The sport, in fact, started out as an all-male activity. In 1967, the first organized cheerleading competition was held issuing cheerleading awards.
Other than regular cheering and chants, dance, gymnastics, stunts, and other tactics were introduced to the sport. Because of this, cheerleading eventually became dominated by females. There were people who did not think of cheerleading as a sport. However, the values which can be learned from it like discipline and teamwork, plus the serious physical challenges and risks, made people agree that it is indeed as fun and difficult as any other sport.
Cheerleaders are known to give confidence to a whole team and tons of supporters. They truly bring out team spirit just by doing their graceful moves. The huge amount of energy they have can supply for a whole stadium (or a whole state)! Players and supporters get their motivation from cheerleaders. Where do these cheerleaders get theirs?
Cheerleading tournaments give excitement to cheerleaders’ career. Just like other players, cheerleaders get electrified with the sight of a shimmering trophy cup. No matter how many competitions a cheering squad had won, they will always be as hungry for victory as ever. They love seeing their team’s name stated on engraved plaques after all the long hours of rehearsal, work outs, plus other side issues. There are millions of stories reflected in all claimed cheerleading trophies. Most are about persistence, patience, teamwork, unity, discipline, and yes, motivation
